The government finally posted draft regulations to ban six single-use plastics over the holidays. Unfortunately there’s a catch. As written, the regulations wouldn’t rid Canada of the harmful products until sometime in 2024 at the earliest, an absurd timeline that undermines the government’s own promises to reign in plastic pollution. 99% of flexible plastics in Canada end up in landfills, incinerators, or the environment.
